Bushing, Kits and tubes(confused)

[hanau]

Ok i am a confused.
How do you all keep from having to buy every type of bushing and tubes for every pen kit.

Does anyone have a good cross reference for what bushing/ replacement tubes from woodcraft will work on another vendors pen kits or vice versa?

Get some calipers and don't use bushings.

:biggrin:, Worked for me...

I only buy bushings for kits I REALLY like or plan make a lot of, because they help speed up the rough sizing for me....

pick some favorites

You can see lots of examples of pens made from available kits. Pick a few that you like and get the bushings for them. I put mine in perscription bottles with the labels removed...label the bottles and store them in a tupperware storage box. You'll gather a lot unless you get to be a whole lot better at turning than I am....heck I use caliphers with bushings and still have problems getting the barrels right.
